If I had to answer the question "Which is the best record label around at the moment?" then I'm pretty sure my answer would be Drunken Sailor. Their releases are frequent and pretty much all of them are great. If pushed to back up my answer I'd have to do no more than reply "check out the link... " https://drunkensailorrecords.bandcamp.com/music
Their latest modern day classic is the self titled debut album by Personality Cult. From Carrboro, North Carolina, and featuring Ben Carr from Natural Causes (https://naturalcausesnc.bandcamp.com/) (https://sorrystaterecords.bandcamp.com/album/natural-causes) Personality Cult have released an album that contains 10 short and very sweet songs that are being bombarded with superlatives from all corners of the internet. Buzzcocks meet Steve Adamyk is just one comparison being tossed around. Other reviews mention the likes of Wire and Tubeway Army. I can hear hints of those bands but to me Personality Cult just sound modern, fresh and very catchy. If you haven't had the pleasure yet, go listen to the album now... https://drunkensailorrecords.bandcamp.com/album/st-lp-6
As well as Ben (vocals/guitar/bass/synth) the album also features Ian Rose (drums) and sees Johnny Valiant, Mark Connor, Colin Sneed and Crowmeat Bob contributing on various tracks.

All the songs are great but I have to highlight one so let's go with this 92 second gem, it's called Heart Attack...
